Latest Patents

Sethunath’s listed patents address natural-material alternatives for artificial turf infill. His portfolio includes 2 patents.

“Natural artificial turf infill” describes biodegradable granules made with a natural binder. The binder is physically modified through the addition of filler material, rather than chemically modified, and the granules have a mean size between 0.2 and 5 millimeters.

“Artificial turf infill with natural rubber granules” describes biodegradable granules made with natural rubber. As with the binder-based infill, the rubber is physically modified by adding filler material without chemical modification, and the granules have a mean size between 0.2 and 5 millimeters.

Career Highlights

Sethunath’s listed inventions focus on developing artificial turf infill from biodegradable materials. The two patent descriptions share a granule-size range and a physical-modification approach, while differing in the natural material used: one uses a natural binder, and the other uses natural rubber.

Collaborations

Sethunath is associated with Ten Cate Thiolon B.V. His listed coworkers include Niels Gerhardus Kolkman and Colin Young.

Conclusion
